That’s more than any single infection, more than alcohol, even more than high cholesterol.

Here’s a bullet‑point TL;DR (BG) of the article “Truly Spiritual People Have No Religion” from Hindu‑Blog: (Hindu Blog)
Spirituality transcends organized religion:
The piece argues that true spirituality isn’t defined by belonging to a specific religion or rigid dogmas — it goes beyond labels and outward rituals. (Hindu Blog)
Sanatana Dharma is an eternal way, not a confined religion:
It presents Sanatana Dharma as universal wisdom emphasizing inner realization rather than external religious identity or exclusive belief systems. (Hindu Blog)
Religious labels can become prisons:
Strict religious identities create artificial divisions, rules, and “us vs. them” mentalities, which true spiritual seekers outgrow. (Hindu Blog)
Essence over form:
Genuine spirituality is reflected in qualities like empathy, compassion, silence, contentment, humility, and unity, not in adherence to rites or scripture memorization. (Hindu Blog)
Realisation of oneness:
The ultimate spiritual insight is the recognition that all beings share one universal consciousness, dissolving distinctions between religions and the self. (Hindu Blog)
Modern relevance:
In a world divided by religious identities, this view promotes inner peace, psychological harmony, and a sense of unity beyond doctrinal differences. (Hindu Blog)
Bottom line:
True spirituality, according to the article’s perspective, isn’t about religious affiliation — it’s about inner transformation and realizing our shared, boundless nature. (Hindu Blog)

Here’s a bullet‑point TL;DR of the Futurity article “These 5 countries have the highest narcissism levels” about narcissism and personality research: (Futurity)
Global study on narcissism: Research surveying over 45,000 people in 53 countries found that narcissism is a widespread trait everywhere — it isn’t confined to just Western cultures. (Futurity)
Top countries for narcissism: The five nations with the highest average narcissism scores in the study were Germany, Iraq, China, Nepal, and South Korea — not the United States. (Futurity)
US ranks lower: The United States ranked about 16th for narcissism despite common beliefs about American culture emphasizing self‑focus. (Futurity)
Age and narcissism: Younger adults tend to show higher narcissism levels than older adults across cultures, suggesting personality traits shift with life experience. (Futurity)
Gender difference: Men generally scored higher in narcissistic traits compared to women in the survey. (Futurity)
Cultural influences: Variations across countries suggest cultural, economic, and social factors shape how narcissistic behaviours and self‑focus are expressed. (Futurity)
Trait explanation: Narcissism involves high self‑esteem, low empathy, and self‑focus — a personality pattern that impacts how people view themselves and interact with others. (Futurity)
Bottom line: Narcissism appears as a stable personality trait seen globally, with predictable patterns by age and gender — and countries differ in average levels but not in whether narcissism exists at all. (Futurity)

Here’s a bullet‑point gist / TL;DR of your passage on what happens after you die:
Neural shutdown:
Oxygen deprivation causes parts of the brain to fail; inhibitory and emergency networks trigger random firing.
Final mental experience:
Shock, euphoria, memory flashes, and visions occur as the brain attempts a last-ditch self-stimulation before total shutdown.
Loss of self:
Consciousness devolves to basic perception, like a primordial or “earthworm-like” state, losing awareness and concern.
Decomposition and recycling:
The body ceases to be an organism and becomes an environment for microbes, returning to Earth — dirt, rocks, trees.
Perspective on life and identity:
Death is natural and inevitable; we have already “died” many times as our cells and atoms are replaced. Awareness of mortality encourages appreciation of life’s fleeting beauty.
Death and humility:
Death reminds humans they are not eternal gods; living well and leaving a positive impact is a form of lasting legacy, rather than seeking immortality.
Key takeaway:
Death is neither punishment nor reward; it’s the cessation of personal consciousness, a natural return to the Earth, and a prompt to live meaningfully while alive.
If you want, I can also condense it into a 1‑sentence “existential TL;DR” that really captures the essence.

Here’s the TL;DR of the Futurism article you linked:
Summary:
AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton, often called the “godfather of AI,” warns that 2026 could see large‑scale job losses as artificial intelligence improves rapidly and starts replacing human labour — not just in low‑skill work like call centres, but increasingly in cognitive tasks such as software engineering. He says AI’s capabilities are advancing faster than he expected, including improvements in reasoning and other complex tasks, meaning many roles could be automated soon. Hinton has become more worried over time about AI’s impact on jobs and society.(futurism.com)
